Yikes

 

Mac OS in a VM...

Already tried that in the past and it was running fairly OK (I have 32 GB of RAM).

The problem is for audio production: Using Logic was a real PITA and I'm not even mentioning how it goes if you have an external sound card or if you want to attach a keyboard to your rig...

 

The performance part was quite interesting, thanks for posting!

 

Just setup your hackintosh in the right way, then you will get the same perfomance out of it... what a clickbait...

 

Edit:
wrong thread....

 

Is something "mormonic" there. You never get best audio performance thru VM. Not good for audio production.

 

Nothing can beat native for now.
Every millisecond lost is stacking over the previous.

YES, you can do NON real time things (like video rendering). Like creating FinalCut "boxes".
But ANYTHING audio real time is going to show limits.

 

I've seen that video.....and no, it's useless for any serious work

and on side note, for the price of overpowered high-core-count shitload-of-ram multiple-ssds rig, you can get a cheapo desktop which will work as hackintosh just fine, and then another cheapo desktop for whatever second OS you choose, be it Windows or Linux

 

the little, poor neumann mike hasnt got a cable? thats a pity...

 

Notice that this post was formed as a question, not as a statement of fact so, why the dislike from luminosity or tzzsmk ?
It seemed interesting because you are able to use all of the macOS features and, access all of you devices.
This is why the question was put.

Thought the idea of the Audiosex forum was to post thoughts, ask questions, get answers.

Happy tracking!

 

You dont need a VM to access all of your devices on a macOS... there are alot of ways how you can do this so thats not a good point.
Just tell me why would you run another OS on your nativ OS in a VM? To test it? okey thats fine but to use it for work and stuff like that, thats just stupid. Maybe for a server its good.

 

The question of a more elegant soulution is to gather useful input from veteran VM and Hackintosh users. A lot of us with aging macOS laptops & towers are looking for stable & easily repeatable solutions other than waiting and giving an arm & a leg for the upcoming ARM based systems.

Not all of us have the Windell (Level1Techs) ability & time to customize solutions.

 

Good Luck juggling macOS inside of Linux.

Everybody could set up a VM in a running OS. But try serious productive work for 3 months later and then talk about it.

You know, I've been using several Hackitoshed for 7 years now. And what I don't want is using something which could run natively on my hardware by virtualizing it… what's the point?

Far from elegant. More headaches

 

from me, it's dislike for the video, not you,
using VM for anything audio related is mostly a big no, I wanted to emphasize that actuality,
I always forget the way AudioSex forum handles reacts/reputation, sorry for inconvenience

 

Thank you for that! Was not really offended. Just curious about dislike.

Yes, Quinn, can be a little over the top like many you-tubers but, I was impressed by the idea of running macOS full-out inside of Linux in the way that was presented.

AMD based Hackintosh from everything I have gathered so far is great for some, horrible for others.

What the hell are you talking about? You need a thunderbolt 2 cable for the Quantum, but you would not understand stuff like that

 

actually the QEMU mentioned in the video is capable of running any guest OS within host OS while capable of handling hardware passthrough - this makes it a bit tricky, since multiple graphics cards are required (obviously intergrated gpu counts as well) and the overall scheduling/provisioning of resources (cpu, ram etc..) is kind of compromise and always inferior to using OS fully on actual hardware,

I can imagine someone maybe using a virtual server within his workstation, since virtualization offers dynamic resource allocation and backup/restore capabilities of the virtual disk, but I'm pretty sure for any realtime-critical tasks like audio, broadcasting and such, using VM is basically a no go
